MauMau has scheduled an interview for  LorDee with Fox News.    The scene opens with LorDee, Ned, Zora, and Felix sitting down across from Fox reporter Lowell Wrent.    Lowell :  (facing and speaking downstage as if to a television audience)  This is Lowell Wrent here today with the third world - uh - party candidate Loralie DeSilva and her running mate Ned Nuckledd.   Felix :  (to Zora) I thought you might be the running mate.   Zora : I will be the Supreme Court.   Felix :  How does that work?   Zora : Sorry, that is classified.   LorDee : Hi, Lowell.   Ned : Hey.   Lowell :  My research shows you are registered in all fifty states.   Ned : I hear we're good in Canader and Mexicur too.   Lowell :  Really. So -- Ned, you are going to be the vice president?   Ned : Yep. That is 'til LorDee gits 'peached er sassy-naitted; then I'll be yer Predsodent.   Meanwhile, in another part of the campaign center. Fox Fine speaks with Betty Biggins.   Fox: So, Miss Biggins, what do you know about the disappearance of GAD?   Betty: Gad? His name is pronounced Jed.  It's an acronym for General Equivalency Dude.    Fox: Who would name their kid that?   Betty: He's a clone.   Fox: He's a what?   Meanwhile, in yet another part of the campaign center, Skar, Pons, MauMau, AB, and AA are comparing notes on what is going on in the campaign.     Skar :  Man, I keep dropping lower in the barnyard here.   Pons : So, you're no longer a VP candidate?    Skar :  Zora is now planning on becoming the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.   MauMau: I will be the President of Defense.   Betty: Secretary of Defense?   MauMau: I'm not going to be anyone's secretary.  You be a secretary.   AB  :  It's just what it's called, man.   Pons : The Brits call it Minister of Defense.   MauMau: I'm no preacher either.   Skar :  I might be the Secretary of State.   MauMau: Just a state?  Which state?    Skar : (smirking)  Alaska, MauMau. I will be the Secretary of Alaska.    AA :  Does anyone have any idea where GED went?   AB  :  Ned was missing, then he returned and GED was missing.    Pons : Like they changed places.   AA :  Did you see the detectives? I wonder if one is the clone of the other.   Betty: Ned said they are twins.   AB  :  My guess is that one is a Martian, and the other its look-a-like android.   MauMau: Well sure, but which is which?   AA :  I feel a poem coming on.   Pons : Let's make up a joint poem that we all contribute to.   AA :  Or -- (makes a gesture with her head for them to leave)   Pons smiles and the two sneak away.     To be continued...   Write A Review Image from Google.
